My father & subsequent family members in south central Minnesota also pronounce my last name of Mielke as 'Milky'.But I have hired a professional and have found that my g-g-g-grandfather Adam Miehlke pronounced the sur name as: Meal-key.The spelling was also changed from the original spelling from Miehlke to Mielke.This Adam was born in what is now north central Poland, West Prussia at the time of the man's birth in late 1700's.
